Toolkit: Looking after the Artist/Facilitator

Welcome to our fourth Community Toolkit.

Our Creative Places, Edenderry Coordinator, Seonaid Murray, sat down to talk to four experienced Artists & Facilitators about their practice.

The following includes their thoughts, advice for best preparing for, delivering and post facilitation of an arts
based workshop; how to ‘ground’ yourself in order to move on to the next workshop/event or to head home to decompress!

Conversation One: Stephen Beggs, Theatre Maker

Conversation Two: Charmaine McMeekin, Dance Artist/Facilitator in Health and the Community

Conversation Three: Susan Kidd, Creative Relaxation and Mindful Drawing facilitator

Conversation Four: Laura Phillips, Mindful Doodle Artist
